    Latest News from Riese & Müller

    Glad that almost 2 years later R&M Is offering 'nearly' the configuration I originally tried to order in their new 'super-delight'. I feel like I should get a discount for inspiration. Now I just need to find a shop that will take a trade in (like a car dealer) and upgrade to what I...

    Delite Gx Rohloff HS ‘not mountain, mountain version’

    Typical commute setup. I have two of the older style orange bags. And also bought the other office style bag; but tend to use the combo setup here. Front basket tends to get the coffee cup, gloves and whatever other random bits and is definitly a worthwhile upgrade.

    Typical commute setup. I have two of the older style orange bags. And also bought the other office style bag; but tend to use the combo setup here. Front basket tends to get the coffee cup, gloves and whatever other random bits and is definitly a worthwhile upgrade. It keeps the spare tubes, and...

    Delite Gx Rohloff HS ‘not mountain, mountain version’

    Bought a new DeLite Vario highspeed yesterday

    Plus one for electricity bikes I definitely wouldn’t have bought one if it weren’t for the amount of test riding that they allowed for me. In comparison to a dealer in Colorado when I first started looking was night and day; where I could barely get it on an unsupervised test ride electricity...

    Delite Gx Rohloff HS ‘not mountain, mountain version’

    Quick update fell off riding for awhile due to work travel personal issues and weather. Around 700 miles on it now having had it about 6 months. Which is about 1/2-1/3 of my use goal but still better than not having it. Had some minor paint chipping and interference on the front basket with the...

    Unstable tight turns with R&M Supercharger?

    I've noticed both items of discussion; and was aware of both prior to purchase. The wobble I've found directly related to harmonics with bags, and a loose headset at one point. Haven't had a repeat since addressing the causes. The headset block/restricted turn I do find annoying on occasion...

    What inner tube for Supercharger GX?

    Mine worked fine. 2018 Delite Gx. I believe they are labeled TLE-tubeless easy.

    What inner tube for Supercharger GX?

    Convert to tubeless.... it’s worth the time/money. Rim tape, valve and some sealant is all you need. The tire and rim will seat each other just fine.

    My Review of the Riese & Müller Delite GX Rohloff

    Did you add much suspension travel either front or rear?

    Delite GX Rohloff chain tension

    I’m curious if anyone has swapped the roller for a cog. Seams like it would eliminate the high frequency vibes the roller causes. Picture is from a hi a bike. But should be a straightforward install.

    Delite Gx Rohloff HS ‘not mountain, mountain version’

    Been traveling a lot for work. Rolled thru 300 miles. Dealer took care of the loose seat post; tightened the headset, and allowed switchable light . Received the second charger as compensation for the light issue. No other issues. Still a strong recommendation for any considering it.

    Supercharger Rohloff HS vs Delite Nuvinci HS

    My $0.02. I’ve put about 160 odd miles on my Delite this first week. Top gear I’d estimate I’m in the high 70-low 80 rpm (?) but don’t know exactly. Either way it’s slow cadence for me, and that’s hitting the limiter at 27.5 mph. I find I’m more comfortable at 12-13 gear with a higher ‘normal’...

    Delite Gx Rohloff HS ‘not mountain, mountain version’

    Started commuting on it this week. I'll be past 100'miles on it by the time the weekend roles around. Great all around! Consistently doing the 15.5 mile one way in 40-45 minutes with high assist levels and have battery to spare once home on the return. -the sunrise this morning on the way...

    Supercharger Rohloff HS vs Delite Nuvinci HS

    I personally felt more 'drag' going between the Rohloff and nuvinci with the engine off. Rohloff I didn't mind pedaling with zero assist. Nuvinci I felt like I had a brake rubbing; just my $0.02. Also while demoing the nuvinci on steeper trails I found that under enough load, it would bind...

    Supercharger Rohloff HS vs Delite Nuvinci HS

    It may be worth seeing if they reveal anything new at Eurobike. That starts up in July. Until I actually start riding my delite I don't have much to add (hopefully that's tomorrow).

    Delite Gx Rohloff HS ‘not mountain, mountain version’

    Had a chance to check out the mini vs pro side by side at a bike shop here in SF yesterday; The New Wheel; as well as an unmounted new in box pro at Motostrano; Great people, definitely impressed with both shops! Two takeaways; the daytime running light is way brighter in person than I...

    Delite GX Rohloff chain tension

    I'm curious to see my experiences with chain tension. Part of me says buy the new dropout and tensioner from the get go. The other side of me remembers my motorcycles only needed minor adjustments. I guess time will tell with this fancy new ebike! Either way can't wait to start riding it!

    Delite Gx Rohloff HS ‘not mountain, mountain version’

    Still waiting on a determination on the bike light. They got the front rack and seat installed; and tubeless conversion completed. But they mounted a ladies vice normal B17 saddle (shorter nose). Leaving it there while on I’m an extended business trip for them to sort the light and saddle out...
